Isingeniso

1Mna Pawulos, *umthunywa kaKrestu Yesu ngokuthanda kukaThixo, ndibhalela abantu bakaThixo [abahlala e-Efese,]abakholwayo kuYesu Krestu. 2Ndithi: Wanga uThixo uBawo wethu, neNkosi uYesu Krestu, anganenzela isisa, aniphe uxolo.

Iintsikelelo zabamanywe noKrestu

3Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu osibabale ngazo zonke izipho zoMoya zasezulwini, sakuba simanywe noKrestu. 4UThixo wasinyula ngoKrestu kwangaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi, ukuze sibe ngabantu bakhe abangenasiphako ngenxa yothando. 5UThixo akuba ethandile wagqiba kwangaphambili ukuba asenze oonyana bakhe ncakasana ngoYesu Krestu. 6Ngoko ke masimdumise uThixo ngenxa yesisa sakhe esisodwa asenzele sona ngoNyana wakhe oyintanda!

7Sikhululwe sazixolelwa izono zethu ngegazi likaKrestu. Siyaphuphuma kuthi isisa 8asenzele sona uThixo ngokusazelelela. 9Kaloku kwakholeka kuThixo ukusityhilela icebo lakhe athande ukulifezekisa ngoKrestu. 10Eli cebo lithwasisa ukufezekiswa kwamaxesha ngenjongo yokubandakanya kuKrestu zonke izinto, ezisezulwini nezisemhlabeni. 11Ngenene sifumene isabelo selifa lethu ngokumanywa noKrestu. UThixo owenza zonke izinto ngokwezigqibo necebo lakhe wasinyulela elo lifa kwantlandlolo. 12Kuba kaloku yintando yakhe ukuba kuthi ngenxa yethu, thina sathembela kuKrestu kuqala, kuvakaliswe indumiso yesidima sakhe. 13Nani ke, nimanywe noKrestu nje, nizivile iindaba ezimnandi, ezichaza ngenyaniso yosindiso, nazamkela. Ke ngoko uThixo waniphawula ngoMoya oyiNgcwele owathenjiswayo. 14Lo Moya ke usisiqinisekiso selifa lethu esiya kulifumana lakufika ixesha lenkululeko yemilowo yakhe, ukuze kubongwe kudunyiswe isidima nesithozela sikaThixo!

Umthandazo kaPawulos

15Ngenxa yezi zinto ke, ndakuba ndivile ngokholo eninalo kuYesu iNkosi yethu, nangendlela eniluthanda ngayo lonke usapho lukaThixo, 16andiphezi ukumbulela uThixo ngenxa yenu, xa ndinikhumbulayo emthandazweni. 17Ndiyamcela uThixo weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, uSosidima, ukuba aniphe uMoya wobulumko, anityhilele uThixo, ukuze nimazi. 18Ndiyamcela ukuba anikhanyisele nibe nokuqonda, khon' ukuze nilazi ithemba anibizele kulo, niziqonde iintsikelelo ezingaka ezililifa lemilowo yakhe, 19nikuve ukongama kwawo amandla akhe ngakuthi, thina bathembele kuye. La mandla ikwangalawa 20wavusa ngawo uKrestu ekufeni, waza wamthwesa ubukhosi ezulwini. 21Ngenxa yobo bukhosi wongamele lonke ulawulo, negunya, nawo onke amandla nobukhosi. Ubukhosi bakhe bungaphezu kwawo onke amawonga obungangamsha nawo onke amagama anokukhankanywa kweli lizwe nakwelizayo. 22Izinto zonke uThixo uzibeke phantsi kolawulo lukaKrestu, waza wammisela wayintloko yezinto zonke ebandleni. 23Ibandla ke lingumzimba kaKrestu, liphuphuma bubukho bakhe lowo uphuphuma ubukho bukaThixo.

Siphume ekufeni sangena ebomini

1Benifudula nifile emoyeni ngenxa yeemposiso nokona, 2ngokuya naniziphethe ngendlela yeli hlabathi. Naniphantsi komtyholi, umphathi wamagunya asesibhakabhakeni noweempembelelo ezilawula abo bangamthobeliyo uThixo. 3Eneneni besinjalo sonke; besifudula silawulwa ziinkanuko zesimo sethu esidala, silandela nayiphi na iminqweno neengcinga zethu. Njengamntu wonke ke okuloo meko besiphantsi kwengqumbo kaThixo.

4Kodwa ke uThixo onceba inkulu, ngenxa yendlela asithanda ngayo, 5usidlise ubomi kunye noKrestu, naxa besinjengabafileyo nje ngenxa yezono zethu. Kambe ke nakhululwa ngenxa yesisa sikaThixo. 6Njengoko simanyene noKrestu Yesu nje, uThixo usivuse ekufeni, saza saya kutsho ezulwini kunye noYesu. 7Wênjenjalo ukuze ngamaxesha onke ahlale esibonisa ubukhulu besisa nobubele bakhe, thina bamanywe noYesu Krestu. 8Ke kaloku nakhululwa ngesisa sikaThixo ngokholo; anikhululwanga ngemizamo yenu. Ewe, kungenxa yesisa sikaThixo. 9Ngoko ke akukho nto ubani angaziqhayisa ngayo, kungekho migudu yakhe nje. 10Singumsebenzi wezandla zikaThixo ke thina. Kaloku simanywe noYesu Krestu nje, uThixo wasidalela ukuba sizinikele ekwenzeni imisebenzi emihle awasimisela yona kwangaphambili.

Sibanye kuKrestu

11Kaloku yikhumbuleni imeko yenu yangaphambili ngelaa xesha naningabahedeni. Kwakusithiwa ningabangalukanga ngabo bolwaluko (lwaluko olo lulisiko nje langaphandle). 12Kaloku ngelo xesha nanikude kuKrestu. Naningenabudlelane nemilowo yakwaSirayeli. Naningaphandle kweminqophiso nezithembiso zikaThixo. Naningenathemba, ningenaThixo kweli hlabathi. 13Kodwa ngoku, ngokumanywa noKrestu, nina kanye enanikade nikude lee, nisondeziwe ngokuphalala kwegazi likaKrestu. 14Kuba kaloku nguye umxolelanisi. Iintlanga namaJuda uzenze zasisizwe esinye. Yena buqu waludiliza udonga lobutshaba obelusahlule. 15Kaloku uwubhangisile umthetho nemiyalelo kwanemimiselo yawo, ukuze ngezi zizwe zibini adale isizwe esitsha esimanywe naye ngokwakhe. Ngaloo ndlela ke udale uxolo. 16Ewe, ngomnqamlezo wakhe uKrestu ububhangisile ubutshaba, waza ezi zizwe zibini wazixolelanisa zayimbumba yamanyama kuThixo. 17Ngoko ke weza washumayela iindaba ezimnandi zoxolo, kuni nina babekade bekude, nakwabo bebekufutshane kakade. 18Kaloku sonke, amaJuda kwaneentlanga, singena ngoKrestu, siye kufikelela kuBawo ngenkqu, sikuMoya omnye.

19Ngoko ke, nani zintlanga, anisengabo abasemzini neendwendwe. Niyimilowo nabantu bakaThixo; nilusapho lukaThixo. 20Nani ke nakhelwe phezu kwesiseko *sabathunywa *nabashumayeli, kodwa ke elona litye lesiseko nguYesu Krestu ngokwakhe. 21Ungoyena usixhasayo isakhiwo xa sisonke, ukuze sikhule sibe yindlu engcwele yeNkosi. 22Ngokumanywa naye ke nani niyakhiwa nikunye nabanye, ukuze nibe sisakhiwo ahlala kuso uThixo ngoMoya.

Ukusebenza kukaPawulos phakathi kweentlanga

1Kungesi sizathu ke, mna Pawulos ongumbanjwa kaYesu Krestu ngenxa yenu zintlanga, ndimthandaza nje uThixo. 2Kambe ndiyacinga ukuba nivile ukuba uThixo undimisele ndaba ligosa lobabalo lwakhe ngenxa yenu. 3UThixo wandityhilela icebo lakhe ebelingaziwa mntu, njengoko sendichazile ngokufutshane. 4Xa nithe nayifunda ke, noba nako ukuyilandela indlela endiluqonda ngayo udaba olungoKrestu. 5Kwizizukulwana ezingaphambili abantu abazange balwaziswe olu daba. Kodwa ngoku uThixo ulutyhilile ngaye uMoya oyiNgcwele, kubo *abathunywa *nabashumayeli bakhe. 6Olu daba ke lolokuba iintlanga ziziindlamafa ndawonye namaJuda, zibandakanywe nawo. Bonke bayimbumba yamanyama. Nazo ziyabuxhamla ubuncwane bezithembiso zikaThixo ezenziwa kuYesu Krestu.

7Zinjalo ke iindaba ezimnandi endingumququzeleli wazo ngenxa yesisa uThixo andenzele sona ngokusebenza kwamandla akhe. 8Mna ndingoyena mncinane kubantu bakaThixo. Kodwa uThixo undinike ilungelo lokuba ndishumayele iindaba ezimnandi ezintlangeni, ndithethe ngobubele obungaphicothekiyo bukaKrestu, 9ndiqondise bonke abantu indlela esebenza ngayo imfihlelo yecebo likaThixo. UThixo onguMdali wezinto zonke walifihla eli cebo kuwo onke amaphakade adluleyo, 10ukuze ngoku, ngalo ibandla, ubulumko bukaThixo obuntlobo-ntlobo buvakaliswe kuzo izilawuli nabasemagunyeni kweliphezulu. 11Le nto uThixo wayenza ngokwenjongo yakhe engunaphakade awayimisa ngoYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu. 12Ngokumanywa naye ke singena siyokutsho kuThixo ngenkqu sikhululekile, sinesibindi ngenxa yokukholwa kuye. 13Ndiyanibongoza ke ukuba ningadakumbi kukuba ndixhwalekile ngenxa yenu; le meko iludumo lwenu.

Uthando lukaKrestu

14Ngenxa yale nto ke, ndizikhahlela phantsi phambi koBawo, 15uYise walo lonke usapho olusezulwini nasemhlabeni. 16Ndiyambongoza ukuba ngobubele bakhe uSosidima anomeleze imo yenu entsha ngoMoya wakhe, 17khon' ukuze ngokholo uKrestu ahlale ngaphakathi kuni. Nanga ningasekelwa eluthandweni nendele. 18Nanga nina nosapho lukaThixo xa lulonke, ningalunakana ukuba lungakanani na ububanzi balo, lungakanani na ubude balo, kukwangakanani na ukuphakama kwalo nokuba nzulu kwalo uthando lukaKrestu, 19nilwazi nakuba lungenakwaziwa nje. Ewe, niye niphuphuma bubukho bukaThixo obugqibeleleyo.

20Ngoku ke, kulowo unako ukwenza ngaphezu kokuba sicela nokuba siqiqa, ngamandla akhe asebenza ngaphakathi kuthi: 21Makubekho udumo kuThixo ebandleni, nakuKrestu Yesu, kuse kuzo zonke izizukulwana ngonaphakade kanaphakade. *Amen.

Umzimba: imbumba yamanyama

1Ngoko ke mna endingumbanjwa ngenxa yokuba ndisisicaka seNkosi, ndiyanibongoza: ziphatheni ngohlobo olungawuthobiyo umgangatho wendima enamiselwa yona nguThixo mhla wanibiza; 2nihlale nithobekile ngawo onke amaxesha, ninobulali nomonde, ninyamezelana ngothando. 3Zamelani ukuhlala ngoxolo niyilaa mbumba yamanyama wanenza nayiyo uMoya oyiNgcwele. 4Mnye umzimba kaloku, ukwamnye uMoya, kwanjengokuba lilinye nethemba enabizelwa kulo nguThixo. 5INkosi inye, nokholo lunye, nobhaptizo lukwalunye. 6Kanti ukwamnye noThixo onguYise woluntu luphela, olawula izinto zonke, esebenza ngezinto zonke, ekwakho kwiinto zonke.

7Umntu ngamnye wabelwe isiphiwo esisodwa ngangobubele bukaKrestu. 8Yiyo ke le nto *iziBhalo zithi:

“Unyukele ezulwini eqhuba abathinjwa,

waza wabela abantu izipho.”

9Kuthetha ukuthini ke ukuthi unyukile? Kuthetha ukuthi wehla kuqala waya emathunjini omhlaba. 10Lowo ke wehlayo usekwangulo kanye wenyukela ngaphaya kwamazulu, khon' ukuze izinto zonke azizalise ngobukho bakhe. 11Nguye ke lo wababelayo izipho ezizezi abantu: Wabamisela *bangabathunywa abanye, abanye *bangabashumayeli, bangabavakalisi beendaba ezimnandi abanye, abanye bangabelusi nabefundisi. 12Wabanika ezi zipho zokulungiselela lonke usapho lukaThixo emsebenzini walo, ukuze kwakheke ibandla elingumzimba kaKrestu. 13Ekugqibeleni ke sonke siya kuba yiloo mbumba yamanyama iqulethwe lukholo lwethu, kwakunye nokwazi kwethu uNyana kaThixo; sibe ngabantu abakhule bagqibelela, silingane noKrestu ogqibeleleyo. 14Ngoku ke asisengobantwana abafane bakhukuliseke ngamaza, baphephetheke nayiyiphi na imimoya yeemfundiso zabakhohlisi abalahlekisa abantu ngobuqhetseba. 15Ndaweni yaloo nto inyaniso masiyithethe siqhutywa luthando, khon' ukuze siye simfuza uYesu ngokupheleleyo. Kaloku nguye intloko. 16Umzimba wonke uxhomekeke kuye; ilungu ngalinye limanywe namanye kuye. Ngoko ke le mbumba yamanyama ikhuliswa ngumsebenzi welungu ngalinye, izakhe ngothando.

Ubomi obutsha kuKrestu

17Ngoko ke ndiyanibongoza ndinilumkisa egameni leNkosi. Yahlukanani nokuziphatha ngokwabahedeni abangqiqo ziphuthileyo, 18abangqondo zimfiliba. Abananxaxheba kubomi bukaThixo, kuba basemnyameni ombonde-mbonde, baqaqadekile. 19Baphelelwe ziintloni, bazilahlele emanyaleni nasekungcoleni, bangooncanyelweni.

20Kodwa ke nina animfundanga ngolo hlobo uKrestu. 21Kambe senivile ngaye, ibe ke njengamaKrestu niyifundisiwe inyaniso kaKrestu. 22Ngoko ke silahleni isimo senu esidala. Besinilahlekisa ngeenkanuko ezingendawo ezinirhuqela ekufeni. 23Iintliziyo zenu mazihlaziyeke ngokupheleleyo. 24Thathani isimo esitsha esidalwe safuza uThixo, esizibonakalisa ngobomi obumsulwa, obungcwele, obunyanisekileyo.

25Ngoko ke musani ukuba saxoka! Elowo makathethe inyaniso nowabo,kuba xa sisonke singamalungu omzimba kaKrestu. 26Xa nicaphukile, umsindo mawunganiqweqwediseli esonweni; futhi malingade litshone ilanga ninomsindo. 27Umtyholi musani ukumvulela indawo ebomini benu. 28Umntu obekade elisela makahlukane nokuba. Ndaweni yaloo nto makasebenze enyanisekile, azixhase, abe nako nokunceda abahlelelekileyo. 29Intetho ekrwada mayingaphumi emilonyeni yenu. Ukuthetha kwenu makuthambe, kube kokwakhayo, ukuze kube luncedo nentsikelelo kwabaphulaphuleyo. 30Musani ukumdakumbisa uMoya oyiNgcwele kaThixo, kuba uniphawulele umhla wokugqibela wenkululeko. 31Yahlukanani nayo yonke inzondo, iphuku, nomsindo; ukuthukisa, nokunyelisa nalo lonke ulunya. 32Ndaweni yaloo nto yenzelanani ububele ninobulali, nixolelane, kwanjengokuba naye uThixo wanixolelayo ngoKrestu.

Hlalani ekukhanyeni

1Njengoko ke ningabantwana bakaThixo abaziintanda, fuzani yena. 2Hlalani nithandana kanye ngale ndlela wanithanda ngayo uKrestu. Yena wazincama ngenxa yenu, wazenza umnikelo nedini elivumba limnandi kuThixo.

3Nanjengoko nilusapho lukaThixo, makungakhankanywa phakathi kwenu ukurheletya nako konke ukungcola nokunyoluka. 4Izinto ezinjengokuthetha krwada, nokulavuza, neentetho ezingcolileyo, azinto zinifaneleyo konke. Nifanelwe kukuhlala nibulela uThixo nina endaweni yezi zinto. 5Yiqondeni kakuhle into yokuba akukho mntu urheletyayo, nongcolileyo, nosisinyolunyolu, uya kubuxhamla ubuncwane bokulawulwa nguKrestu nanguThixo. Kaloku ukunyoluka yenye indlela yokunqula izithixo.

6Ningavumeli bani anikhohlise ngentetho ephuthileyo. Zizinto ezinjalo kanye eziza nengqumbo kaThixo kwabo bangamthobeliyo. 7Nina ke ningazibandakanyi nabantu abanjalo. 8Nani benifudula nihleli ebumnyameni. Nithe ke nakuba ngamaKrestu, nasekukhanyeni. Ngoko ke ziphatheni ngokwabantu abaqheleneyo nokukhanya. 9Kaloku apho kukhoyo ukukhanya, kulapho kuntshula khona konke ukulunga, nabo bonke ubulungisa, nenyaniso. 10Zamani ukukuqonda ukuthanda kweNkosi; 11ningazibandakanyi nezinto zobumnyama eziphuthileyo ezenziwa ngabantu. Ndaweni yaloo nto zibhenceni ekukhanyeni ezo zinto, zibonakale icace into eziyiyo. 12Kungaziintloni nokuwathetha amanyundululu abawenza ngasese. 13Kodwa ke xa zisekukhanyeni zonke izinto, ziyacaca into eziyiyo; 14kuba kaloku yonke into ecacileyo isekukhanyeni. Yiyo le nto kuthiwa:

“Phaphama, thongorhandini, uvuke ekufeni;

uKrestu wokukhanyisela.”

15Ngoko ke yigqaleni indlela eniziphatha ngayo. Yibani ngabantu abanengqondo; musani ukuba ziziyatha. 16Eli thuba ninalo lisebenziseni kakuhle, kuba akho amaxesha amabi. 17Musani ukuba zizidenge ke; nina zamani ukuqonda ukuthanda kweNkosi.

18Musani ukunxila butywala obunonakalisayo. Ndaweni yaloo nto phuphumani nguMoya oyiNgcwele, 19nincokola ngeendumiso namaculo, neengoma, nivuma iingoma niyidumisa iNkosi ngentliziyo. 20Bulelani uThixo uBawo wethu imihla ngemihla ngenxa yeento zonke, ngegama leNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu.

Amakhosikazi nabayeni bawo

21Thobelanani, niqhutywa kukuba noKrestu nimthobela.

22Nina makhosikazi, bathobeleni ngokuzinikela abayeni benu, kanye ngale ndlela niyithobela ngayo iNkosi. 23Kaloku indoda iyintloko yomfazi, kanye njengokuba noKrestu eyintloko yebandla. Ke yena uKrestu ukwanguMhlanguli walo ibandla elingumzimba wakhe. 24Ngoko ke abafazi mabawathobele ngokupheleleyo amadoda abo, kanye ngale ndlela ibandla lizinikele ngayo ekuthobeleni uKrestu.

25Nina madoda, bathandeni abafazi benu, kanye ngale ndlela alithande ngayo uKrestu ibandla, waza wanikela ngobomi bakhe ngenxa yalo. 26Le nto uyenze ukuze libe libango lakhe ibandla. Ulicocile walihlamba ngamanzi ngamandla elizwi lakhe, 27khon' ukuze azithathele lona liyinzwakazi, linyulu, lingenasici, lingenabala nakushwabana nasinye isiphako. 28Ngoko ke amadoda afanele ukuba nebhongo lokubathanda abafazi bawo, kanye ngale ndlela azithanda ngayo iziqu zawo. Indoda emthandayo umfazi wayo iyazithanda. 29(Akakho umntu ongazithandiyo, endaweni yaloo nto uyazondla azixhase, kanye njengokuba noKrestu elilungiselela ibandla. 30Kaloku singamalungu omzimba wakhe.) 31Kunjengoko *neziBhalo zisitsho ukuthi: “Ngoko ke indoda iya kumshiya uyise nonina, imanywe nomfazi wayo, baze abo babini badibane babe banye.” 32La mazwi atyhila inyaniso enzulu; ke mna ndithi isingisele kuKrestu nebandla. 33Kambe ke ikwasingisele nakuni. Ngoko ke yonke indoda mayimthande umfazi wayo, kanye ngale ndlela izithanda ngayo nayo. Ngokukwanjalo ke wonke umfazi makayihlonele indoda yakhe.

Abantwana nabazali

1Bantwana, bathobeleni abazali benu nimanywe neNkosi nje, kuba kulunge kanye ukwenjenjalo. 2“Beka uyihlo nonyoko.” Lo ngumyalelo wokuqala onesithembiso esithi: 3“Uya kuba namathamsanqa, nemihla yakho yolulwe emhlabeni.”

4Nina ke, bazali, abantwana musani ukubaphatha gadalala, bade babe nenzondo, koko banikeni ingqeqesho nemiyalo yobuKrestu.

Izicaka nabaphathi

5Nina zicaka, bathobeleni abaphathi benu balapha emhlabeni, ninentlonipho, niqhutywa kukunyaniseka, ngokungathi nikhonza uKrestu ngenkqu. 6Ningatshakazi nenze izinto ngenjongo yokuzithandekisa ebantwini, koko yenzani ukuthanda kukaThixo ngomxhelo wenu wonke, njengezicaka zikaKrestu. 7Umsebenzi wenu wenzeni ngemincili, ngokungathi niwenzela iNkosi, aniwenzeli mntu.

8Ze nikhumbule ukuba umntu ngamnye uya kuvuzwa yiNkosi ngomsebenzi omhle, nokuba loo mntu sisicaka nokuba akasiso.

9Nani baphathi yenzani kwangokunjalo ngokubhekiselele kwizicaka zenu. Yekani ukusoloko nizigrogrisa. Khumbulani ukuba nina kwakunye nezicaka zenu ningabeNkosi enye esezulwini, egweba wonke umntu ingenamkhethe.

UmKrestu edabini

10Elokuphetha ndithi njengokuba nimanywe neNkosi nje, yomelelani nincedwa ngamandla ayo. 11Nxibani sonke isikrweqe eninokusifumana kuThixo, ukuze nibe nako ukumelana nabo bonke ubuqhokolo bukaSathana. 12Kuba kweli dabi lethu asilwi nabantu, kodwa silwa nemimoya ekhohlakeleyo esesibhakabhakeni, izilawuli, nabasemagunyeni, kunye nemimoya engcolileyo yeli phakade lobumnyama. 13Ngoko ke xhobani ngezikrweqe zikaThixo, ukuze nibe nako ukuxhathisa xa kunyembelekile, nize nifeze konke nimile ngxishi.

14Ngoko ke hlalani niqulile. Bhinqani ngenyaniso; ninxibe ubulungisa ukukhusela isifuba. 15Ezinyaweni nxibani inkuthalo yokuhlala nichophele ukuvakalisa iindaba ezimnandi zoxolo. 16Ngamaxesha onke ukukholwa makube likhaka lenu; ngokholo noba nako ukuzicima zonke iintolo ezivuthayo zikaSathana. 17Entloko thwalani usindiso. Phathani ilizwi likaThixo libe likrele enilinikwa nguMoya. 18Zinikeleni ngokupheleleyo ekuthandazeni. Thandazani maxa onke niqhutywa nguMoya. Ngesi sizathu ke hlalani nithe qwa, ningancami, nisoloko nibathandazela abantu bakaThixo. 19Nam ndithandazeleni, ukuze uThixo andiphe udaba xa ndithethayo, ndibe nesibindi sokuyivakalisa injongo yakhe eyayifihlakele, ndixela iindaba ezimnandi. 20Mna ndingunozakuzaku obanjiweyo ngenxa yazo. Ndithandazeleni ukuze ndithethe ngesibindi, njengoko kufuneka ndenjenjalo kakade.

Imibuliso yokwahlukana

21Njengoko kuyimfanelo ukuba nive ngemeko nempilo yam, uTikiko uya kunazisa ngazo zonke ezo ndaba. Yena nguwethu othandekayo, isicaka esithembekileyo emsebenzini weNkosi. 22Yiyo ke le nto ndimthuma kuni: ndenzele ukuba anazise ngayo yonke imeko yam, anivuselele.

23Wanga uThixo uYise neNkosi uYesu Krestu angawapha uxolo nothando nokholo onke amawethu. 24Lwanga ubabalo lukaThixo lungahlala kubo bonke abayithanda ngothando olungatshitshiyo iNkosi uYesu Krestu.
